ICET 2026 Invites Partners And Speakers
ICET 2026 continues traditions of ICPATME initiated in 2018 as PATME – Pedagogical Advances in Technology-Mediated Education.
Preserving the focus of the conference on education and technology, it was decided to re-abbreviate the conference as ICET for enlarging the scope of the conference for different types of technology used in education, training and learning, and embrace studies on engineering, computer sciences and other related areas.
The ICET Conference tentative plan is settled and we are looking forward to fruitful partnerships and cutting edge studies to be presented at the conference for enhancing education and research as well as international collaborative perspectives for academicians, productions and educational institutions.
